Answer:

System of two linear equations can't have exactly two solutions. Reason is that when we have two straight lines,they can only intersect at one point of intersection,no more. Or let's see if lines are equivalent,then they have infinitely many solutions,because any point on line can be solution for the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

List the angles of triangle ABC in order from smallest to largest measure if AB = 9, AC = 11, and BC = 10.

galben [10]

Across smallest side- smallest angle.
across largest side- largest angle
largest side is AC, so largest angle is B
smallest side is AB, so smallest angle is C
angles from smallest to largest : C, A, B

Answer:

Probability that the first vehicle selected is a motorcycle and the second vehicle is a van is (24/187) or 0.1283.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an automobile manufacturing plant produced 34 vehicles today: 16 were motorcycles, 9 were trucks, and 9 were vans.

Plant managers are going to select two of these vehicles for a thorough inspection. The first vehicle will be selected at random, and then the second vehicle will be selected at random from the remaining vehicles.

As we know that, Probability of any event = $\frac{\text{Favorable number of outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Now, Probability that the first vehicle selected is a motorcycle is given by;

= $\frac{\text{Number of motorcycles}}{\text{Total number of vehicles}}$

Here, Number of motorcycles = 16

Total number of vehicles = 16 + 9 + 9 = 34

So, Probability that the first vehicle selected is a motorcycle = $\frac{16}{34}$

Similarly, Probability that the second vehicle is a van is given by;

= $\frac{\text{Number of vans}}{\text{Total number of remaining vehicles}}$

Here, Number of vans = 9

And Total number of remaining vehicles after selecting one motorcycle = 34 - 1 = 33

So, Probability that the second vehicle selected is a van = $\frac{9}{33}$

Therefore, the probability that the first vehicle selected is a motorcycle and the second vehicle is a van = $\frac{16}{34}\times \frac{9}{33}$

= $\frac{24}{187}$ = 0.1283

a thermometer measures temperature to the nearest 0.5 degrees celsius which measurement shows an appropriate level of precision

Alja [10]

The temperature which has best degree of precision would actually be the temperature reading which has similar decimal place with the error. So the best answer would have 1 decimal and from the choices given above, this would be:

16.0°C
